InAlN has been studied by means of temperature-dependent time-integrated photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence.The variation of PL peak energy did not follow the behavior predicted by Varshni formula, and a faster redshift with increasing temperature was observed. We used a model that took account of the thermal activation and thermal transfer of localized excitons to describe and explain the observed behavior. A good fitting to the experiment result is obtained. We believe the anomalous temperature dependence of PL peak energy shift can be attributed to the temperature-dependent redistribution of localized excitons induced by thermal activation and thermal transfer in the strongly localized states. V-shaped defects are thought to be a major factor causing the strong localized states in our In_(0.153) Al_(0.847) N sample.
